The church , Manse, and greater part of the glebe, are situated in a green peninsular within a lake, which is half a mile in breadth, and one mile in length. Although the church was built in the peninsular, during the times of popery, yet this inconvenience could not be felt during that establishment; as there were three other chapels in the parish; that of St. Eata at Kinrara, St. Drostan's at Dunaughton and the chapel of Macluach at Bellville. As the church in a short time must be rebuilt, perhaps the more central situation of St Drostan's Chapel ought to be professed.

In replying to remarks on antiquities re in the parish; the Superintendent of Examiners will supply all the local information he can obtain and state what steps he has taken to obtain such information.
